It is a great knife to carry in the watch pocket of a pair of jeans. It is very slim and it is a solid little knife.

The blade is 2 1/4" long and the spine of the blade is 3/16" for about 3/4 of the length and then tapers down to the point.

Although Ted Dowell is credited with coining the term,"funny folder" he was not the originator of the pattern. Not sure who designed this particular pattern but it was popular as an advertising giveaway shortly after WWII. Most of the ones I have seen and own were made by either B & B in St. Paul Minnesota or Executive(a mark of Colonial Knife Co. of Providence Rhode Island). I do have one made by John Watts of Sheffield that is of a slightly different design but operates on the same principle.
In addition to knives,they were also made as letter openers in a slightly larger format.I have a couple of these as well.
Here are some examples:
The,"New Yorker" knife by B & B in the original box dated 1955.
The box for an Executive knife.
An Executive knife.
A B & B knife.

Page two:
A John Watts folder showing how it folds.The frame is pivoted on the rear of the knife which opens and allows the frame to be pivoted around the blade pin and then the frame snapped into position.
